Chapter 241: Chapter 238: I’ll Take Care of You
Although someone went to investigate, the police should be informed afterward because only the police have the authority to arrest people.
So she said, "Norman Bennett, tell Galen Collins about this. Kelly Wright and Nancy are both from South City. If Savanna Windsor appears, then the others who disappeared must be together."
"Mm, okay." Clearly, the man agreed with her approach.
When she called Galen Collins, the call was hung up, and a message came through.
Galen Collins: "Hello, I’m not available to answer right now. Please leave a message if it’s important."
It seems Galen Collins is busy.
She had to first tell Luna, and after knowing it, Luna had some doubts about the authenticity of this matter.
She also had doubts before but held the mindset that it’s better to be wrong a thousand times than to let one escape, feeling it’s necessary to investigate.
Luna (Mentor): "Got it, Galen Collins must be in a meeting since he didn’t answer. I’ll help you talk to him later. I’m busy, talk to you in a bit."
After sending this message, Luna turned off the screen. She was currently in a five-star hotel, pushing a cart with tableware.
However, she didn’t push the used tableware towards the kitchen but instead went to a less crowded corner.
When she reached the spot, she took out her tape and started sticking it to the glass cup George Lyle used.
After sticking around it, she carefully tore it down. When she held it up to the light, her expression froze!
There were no fingerprints left on the tape, but she clearly watched George Lyle drink from this cup and had her eyes on him the whole time.
So there couldn’t be any mistake.
Without fingerprints, it can only mean George Lyle was overly cautious, but being this cautious is suspicious and seemed to confirm all her conjectures.
Only currently, there is no evidence.
But to be safe, she also taped another cup with a lipstick mark.
This time, there were fingerprints.
After pushing the cart into the kitchen, she left the hotel through the back door, intending to give these fingerprints to Galen Collins.
...
―――South City Police Department.
Upon arrival, she tried calling Galen Collins again, but the call didn’t connect, so she didn’t bother trying more.
After waiting for about an hour, Galen Collins finally called back.
"Hi, I was in a meeting just now."
Galen Collins’ voice was gentle, which became like that after he returned last time.
To be honest, she wasn’t used to it. If it weren’t for something important, she would have avoided him long ago.
"Can you come out for a moment? I don’t want to go in. I’m at your door." She hung up after saying this.
She expected to wait for a few minutes, but surprisingly, less than half a minute later, Galen Collins came out, looking like he ran out.
Subsequently, Galen Collins got into the passenger seat, closed the door, and took a breath, seemingly because he rushed too much.
"I’m not in a hurry. Why did you run?" She casually said while taking out the sealed fingerprint tape.
Galen Collins took it over and frowned, asking, "George Lyle’s fingerprint?"
She shrugged her shoulders: "I don’t know. You take it for comparison and let me know afterward."
"Okay." Galen Collins responded before hurriedly saying to her: "This morning, I called you but you didn’t answer. When I was about to send you a message, something came up suddenly. I just finished everything now."
Luna nodded indifferently: "Mm, saw it. What’s up?"
"You said Kelly Wright is from South City, but in the area you mentioned, there’s no one named Kelly Wright, and those named Kelly Wright with the same age are quite many in South City."
Galen Collins indeed tried his best to investigate, but due to incomplete information and Bella saying Kelly Wright had plastic surgery, it was impossible to confirm.
She thought about it and felt something was wrong. North City had the missing cases of Savanna Windsor and Lily Wood. It couldn’t be that there’s no case for Kelly Wright here.
So she asked, "Is there no missing person named Kelly Wright?"
"There was one, but she was found the day after her disappearance. The reason for her disappearance was a quarrel with her parents, and she’s never been to North City," Galen Collins replied.
He investigated thoroughly to be clear, so he could find the person Luna was looking for.
But in the end, he couldn’t find her.
Luna found it increasingly strange, feeling it shouldn’t be possible. All the other missing persons reported to the police, so why wasn’t Kelly Wright reported?
Moreover, the girl group matter was very secretive, and Tommy didn’t know much, so Kelly Wright was exceptionally hard to track, even her parents couldn’t be found.
The more she thought, the more her head hurt, as she stared heavily at the steering wheel.
"Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to help you." Galen Collins wanted to reach out for comfort but felt it inappropriate, so he withdrew his hand.
"Mm, thanks." After thanking him, Luna remembered what Elliana Lyle had mentioned.
So she turned and looked directly at Galen Collins, saying: "My boss said Savanna Windsor appeared at a place called Red Mansion, Norman Bennett already sent someone to investigate. If there’s any movement, you’ll go arrest them."
"North City is not within my jurisdiction."
She certainly knows North City isn’t within Galen Collins’ jurisdiction, but he still needs to be the one to handle it.
"People from North City don’t understand the situation, so you need to explain it," she said, then remembered the case Galen Collins was busy with recently, adding: "It might be related to the current nationwide mass disappearance cases."
This remark made Galen Collins immediately frown, contemplating for a moment, then replied: "Okay, got it. This matter is connected to other cases, so I need to discuss it with the team before contacting North City police."
"Mm, up to you, this matter isn’t very urgent." Anyway, she didn’t really trust what Bella said.
Especially after Elliana Lyle told her that Bella used this matter to exchange for conditions, she believed it even less.
"Alright then, you can go now, I need to head back." She waved tiredly to Galen Collins, looking quite unwell.
Galen Collins felt a bit heartbroken, a girl her age should be carefree.
Before leaving, he still reminded her, "Don’t stay up late, it’s bad for your health. At your age, you’re still growing..."
"..."
Hearing this, Luna impatiently said, "Got it, take care on the way."
Galen Collins always regarded her as a child, so everything she did was just like an ignorant kid in his view.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got; she wanted to be his wife, but he wanted to be her uncle!
Seeing Luna’s disgruntled look, with her face puffing with anger, he sighed helplessly.
Turns out kids have a fleeting interest, yet somehow he fell into it, while the person pulling him down already got out.
"Okay, I’m leaving, but you have to listen, don’t stay up late anymore, got it?"
Luna finally couldn’t hold back and mocked: "The black cat says the gray cat is black, as if you don’t stay up late."
"I’m different! I’m a policeman, I serve the people, it’s my duty."
Maybe because his tone and expression became serious, the girl suddenly stopped talking and turned her head away.
He sighed helplessly, softened his tone: "You shouldn’t follow your brother’s path; there are many things you can ignore."
Luna widened her eyes and countered, "What’s wrong with earning money to support myself? Otherwise, should I wait to starve outside?"
"You won’t starve outside, I’ll support you." This almost slipped out of him naturally.
Luna froze, it seemed even her anger dissipated, unclear about Galen Collins’ intent, support her? How? Give her money monthly for a lifetime?
Obviously, that’s not the life she desired, nor did she need anyone’s support.
But it felt fresh hearing this from Galen Collins.
She waved her hand: "I’ll go to bed early, goodbye."
